Touching Evil Blog Tour {Review + Giveaway}

With
one touch, Leila can see it all.

Leila Marx is trying to put her life back together after her fiancé is
murdered. When Detective Garrick Pearson enlists her help with a difficult
case, she is thankful for the distraction and the opportunity to use her
talents as a touch clairvoyant. Leila and Garrick delve into the mystery behind
a series of missing teenage girls and mummified corpses while discovering their
own growing attraction to each other.

Conner Hoffman is an intriguing lawyer and striking half-demon who enters
Leila’s life unexpectedly. Although her visions are terrifying, she is
fascinated by his charm and his legacy. When it becomes evident that the
murders are linked to a paranormal event, Conner introduces Leila to a world
unbeknownst to ordinary society. She suddenly finds herself immersed in
supernatural politics, sorcery, and danger as she becomes the killer’s next
target.

Staying alive will mean relying on friends, accepting the unbelievable, and
trusting in her heart again.

My Review

Leila Marx hasn’t
been the same since her fiancé was murdered. What’s worse is that she saw it
happen and there was nothing she could do about it. She is a clairvoyant and
when she touches something she gets a glimpse of the past. On a rare occasion
like with her finance, she can see future events. Her life is still on hold a
year later until detective Garrick asks for her help. Girls are going missing
and turning up brutally murdered. She thinks it’s going to be simple, touch
something of the victims and she’ll know what happened and who did it. Turns
out it’s not and what she sees will change her life forever. To top that all off
Connor enters her life. She gets a creepy vision of him that she wished she
could erase. After another girl goes missing, Conner decides to tell her the truth.
What she learns is hard to believe, but she will stop at nothing to bring the
girl home and bring down the sicko who is doing it. The question is, is she in
to far over her head and will she make it out alive to see who the real killer
is?

I’ve read
other clairvoyant books before, but nothing like this one. The other one that I
read, she could see into the future and this one see can see things when she
touches objects. Which I think is way cool by the way. :D I loved the secret
paranormal underworld and the mystery as well. This book had me laughing and
crying throughout the entire book. Leila was very vulnerable during the book,
but that didn’t stop her. With her not knowing much about her gift added to the
story. I was learning with her how to use her gift and whatnot. Although the
book was depressing in some parts, don’t’ let that stop you from reading it.
This was an enchanting read and I can’t see what happens in the next one.

Leila- Like I
said up top she is still coming to terms with losing the love of her life.Know it’s been a year since her dies, but I
think she handled it pretty well. I mean how do you deal with that? I lost my granddad
and it still hurts everyday. So I know how she feels. She is a very strong
woman. She also handles the paranormal world well too. I would be freaking out.
I guess it helps being what she is. I loved her determination. I hope she
learns more about her gift in the next installment. :D

Garrick- I was
hoping to get a little more information about him. We know that he is a good
guy and he is not married. He is a detective and that’s about it. I want more
background info on him in the next one.

Conner- We get
a little more info about him. Like what he is and how old. Why he is the way he
is. I really liked him under the circumstances. I think he really wants to
change and become a better person, but for him that is impossible. L I really really hope he is in the next
one. If not I’ll be very disappointed.

The Cover:
When I first saw the cover I didn’t think it was anything special. When I
finished the book, I was like this is the perfect cover for this book. It
totally goes with the story and I love when a cover looks like a scene in a
book.
